Zoe and I had a chance to hang out with Joe Pop and Lilly. They had a lot of fun at the house playing with water, bouncing on the giant balls, watching videos on YouTube and playing with Auntie Joe.
Joe Pop showed me a great way to keep the ball bouncing down when your tired. Just kick the ball across the yard and say, "Oh no! The wind took it! Go get the ball." Worked every time.
After all of that, we had a nice sit down meal at Burger King followed by some time on their outdoor playground. It is always funny to see how things have changed, since I used to play on that same playground when I was a kid. All of the fun (read dangerous) metal equipment is gone in place of still fun, but safer, plastic equipment.
The two girls had a lot of fun running around and sliding down the different slides. The static that was generated from these made Zoe hair stand up but, unfortunately, I wasn't able to capture that.
After lunch and the playground, we took a quick drive over to the airfield so that Zoe and Lilly could take a look at and sit in Joe Pop's plane. They really like this and Lilly was pushing every button and flipping every switch in sight. It was great.
Zoe will make an excellent co-pilot, assuming she wouldn't be completely terrified of the noise that the plane makes. After all of that, we went back to Joe Pop's where Lilly took a nap, but Zoe stayed awake. As we loaded in to the car to get home, I took a look as I was getting on 95, which is 2 minutes from my parents' house, and this is what I saw.
This was a long day for the Little Miss. You can see more pictures in the Hanging with Joe Pop set on Flickr.
